I've felt so much better since doing the Lightning Process and coming to your BYF seminar. I went back to Exeter able to do all my exams after Easter and passed my 1st year with a 2:1 and an esteemed Dean's Commendation! Over the summer I wanted to make the most of my good health and joined a gym. For the first time ever I was well enough to go every day and I built up to being able to run 5k in 40mins! My timetable at uni this year is absolutely crazy - I'm so busy but I'm somehow managing to fit in windsurfing, lectures, studying, my radio show, marketing the radio station, windsurf weekends away and going out with friends! I still get a bit tired (who wouldn't with a life that busy!) but it's not the same kind of tired as before. I don't even have to think too much about using the techniques apart from if I specifically need them.
Thank you for helping me to help myself get better.
Gemma Astbury - 14 October 2011
I had been suffering with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia for almost two years before I attended the Lightning Process seminars. My symptoms varied on a day to day basis, but often included oversensitivity to light and sound, muscle pain and an overwhelming sense of fatigue. My social and school lives were suffering, and I was becoming increasingly depressed with each day. I had tried a few different medical and alternative treatments, but nothing seemed to work.
I had heard about the Lightning Process from the media, but was unconvinced by its huge claims. One might say I felt threatened by it, as though it might somehow undermine the legitimacy of my illness. It was not until I received a phone call from a family friend, who recounted me with his story of recovery, that I decided it might be time to rethink things. I looked into the process more thoroughly, and although a lot of organisations presented it negatively, I decided I wanted to give it a try.
Alastair accepted me into a group, and within weeks I was sitting down to my first seminar. In three short days I learnt a technique that has completely changed my life. I went back to school full time, and soon began university.
I am now in my final year, and am so grateful to have experienced university life the way it should be - healthy, happy and independent. I cannot thank Alastair enough for his role in my recovery.
Best,

Lucy's mum Clare - 7 July 08
Dear Alastair
A week on and Lucy is flying high, already having achieved some of the activities on her “to do “ list.
Words can not express our deep feelings of gratitude to you, and our wonder at how the Lightning Process can transform peoples lives. People are simply amazed when they see Lucy now as it is like a miracle has taken place. I feel very privileged to have seen you in action and would just like to say ”you are a perfect genius”, truly very gifted at what you do. So many people have asked about your work, after seeing or even hearing about Lucy, they now wonder if the process could help someone they know. I have given your website details ..so don’t be surprised if you get a influx of enquiries! .we haven’t had to do any difficult explaining, they have just looked at Lucy and said “ WOW”
I find the whole concept very exciting, really breaking through the frontiers of medicine. I can’t help wonder how many more illnesses could be improved simply by the power of the minds. How much more sophisticated than drugs and surgery . How optimistic for the future………wow!
We all miss Bournemouth and that sense of optimism, energy and peace that surrounded us that week. However, even the niggling problems that await us on our arrival home didn’t bother me in the same way they would have prior to Bournemouth.
Lucy is well and we feel very blessed .
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts
With the Bestest of wishes
Clare.

Mark's story - February 2008.
In February 2008 I did the Lightning Process Training with Alastair Gibson in Dublin. I had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for more then 2 years. My symptoms included widespread body pain and constant fatigue. Within days of doing the training I was well on the road to changing my symptoms. I started jogging, swimming, cycling and playing football. A week after the seminar I went to San Fran on holidays and had a fantastic time. I even cycled across the golden gate bridge. I’m now enjoying life, events are exciting rather then a burden, the simple things in life make me smile and I have lots of things to look forward to.
If you have Chronic Fatigue, I would highly recommend this training. Don’t go at it half hearted, be prepared to work your socks off, the rewards are fantastic…
A big thank you to Alastair for giving me the tools I needed.
Mark - February 08
Really enjoyed the course. Learned a lot. I feel fantastic and I’m ready for a bright future. Thank you
Pat's story - Thursday 3rd January 2008.
My Name is Pat and I live in Dublin, Ireland. In 2000 I got sick and my G.P. sent me to hospital. He thought it was sadness. I spent seven weeks in hospital and still no change when I came out.
After that I went to a general hospital for three weeks. I had tests done and they found nothing. A couple of weeks later I went to another hospital for some several tests, again they found nothing.
After about six months, I was still suffering from tiredness and no energy, so I found a clinic in Germany and they treated me with vitamins. While in Germany they discovered I had M.E. chronic fatigue. The treatment in Germany worked for a while but then I returned to my fatigue state again. I went to Germany five times and it cost me a lot of money.
Then in December 2007 I discovered the Lightning Process. I did the course in Bournemouth with Alastair. After the three day course my energy came back and I am a NEW MAN.
Ciara - January 08
I found the lightning process very helpful as it highlighted thought patterns that I have which are destructive but now I can send them all to “the Pit” and get better and better every day through this amazing life skill that I have gained over the last three days. Thank you Alastair for making me realise that I really CAN do it!!. I am so excited about the future and look forward to being/Doing the real me! I think everyone should have a go at the LP even if they don’t have ME/anxiety etc. I would say it’s an essential life skill.
Jane's story
Fibromyalgia controlled my life, my mind and my spirit for the last 12 years, more particularly the past 6 years.
I have done everything to get well. Yes exercise helps, but only in a limited way. Some medication, relaxation, meditation, and cognitive behavioural therapy help but all in a very limited way. All the above treatments only touch the surface of the illness. With this treatment you can feel really and truly well and alive again.
As an analogy I would say a healthy person is like a balloon full of energy. I was the balloon that had been pricked, totally flat, totally energyless. My mind had to drag my painful and fatigued body around. My life was very, very tough.
I have done the lightning process and I am overawed at the rapidity of my progress. This is what we have been waiting for!
After two weeks I love noisy, crowded places and busy streets that bustle. I can now talk, argue, concentrate and discuss issues again with energy and passion. I can listen to loud music, dance, walk and cycle wherever and whenever I want.
My home is no longer a morgue, dominated by a person living with a truly horrible illness. I am now truly well and alive.
You may be sitting at home reading this finding it very hard to believe how well you can feel in a short space of time and that is understandable.
However the LP worked for me and, if for me, WHY NOT FOR YOU!
